I thought it was very well received? Now I hear a lot of people here bash it.
It's overrated everywhere except /a/, and underrated on here. 2011fags confuse art style with animation quality and writing quality with adaption quality, and probably just like it because it's newer. It's way better than you can usually hope for in a battle shounen adaption, especially such a long series, but it's uninspired in comparison to 99 and screwed up Kite's intro and some other things. But a few fuck ups and mediocre direction/animation doesn't really warrant the sort of vitriolic hatred 99fags have of it either in my opinion, the manga is better than both either way.
>>141756919
Just curious, how is the 99 version of Hunter x Hunter more inspired?

It's just a meme. Most people realize it's the superior adaptation.
>>141756803
It's an above average WSJ adaptation but not a replacement for the manga that it gets treated as. A lot of of retards shit up the threads with retarded questions because they didn't read the manga from the start.
>>141757201
>blogshit

>>141757292
Just skim the fucking pictures, you don't have to read a word of it. It's self evident from looking at the screenshot comparisons.

>Why do people hate the 2011 adaptation of Hunter x Hunter?
Are you retarded? It was fucking amazing. Just because 2 retards share a different opinion than you doesn't mean the complete adaptation is shit. Also why do you even care?
Fucking newfags who watched 2 anime recommended by their facebook friends think this is the best shit ever made.
>It's another thinly veiled 99 vs 11 shitposting thread
>>141757201
summarizes my feelings towards the issue well.
>>141756803
It looks ugly and washed out and they changed elements for no reason. It's also a very bland and uninspired adaptation, especially when 99 came out before it and was a lot more creative.
It's not amazing or garbage but it's pretty mediocre and the worst way to go through the series.
I still really don't understand why they changed Gon and Kite's relationship so much, it's so nonsensical, episode 76 is mostly filler so it's obviously not even a pacing issue.
>>141757232
I agree.
>>141756803
Mostly because it put very little effort adapting shit.
>>141756803
Because 2011fags like to treat it as a replacement for the manga and it's really not. It makes matters worse when 2011fags participate in manga discussions where they tend to not understand what anyone is talking about, because they relied solely on an uninspired adaptation that over-simplified the story and uses its own interpretation on top of that, and don't want to accept the fact that the interpretation they took from may be wrong.
>>141756803
It's shit
>>141756803
Excellent adaptation of the manga
Definitive version.
Manga > 11 > 99
>>141756803
What I don't get is why they are bitching so much when you can see that there is more focus/implication in 1 fucking episode if this thing than there is in 20 episodes of OP this Show is literally in the Top 1% of adaptation (0.1% given Togashi shitty drawing).
When I see berserk CGI I want to murder them because there is a reason unlike this bunch of edgelord
>>141757281
You are just making shit up, I only watched 2011 and I have been in plenty of discussions about HxH on this board without a problem. Honestly, why are 99fags and mangafags so full of themselves? All you guys fucking talk about is how you are better than people like me for some dumb ass reason. If you guys stopped jerking each other off in every thread there wouldn't be any shitposting problems.

>posting 11fags second favorite anime
>>141756803
It was well received sure but it's lacks a lot of what made 99 great, namely a much stronger identity and visual flare. It's still good because, let's face it, Hunter x Hunter is a great series in any instance, but the way it gets paraded around as a masterpiece typically irks fans of the original. It's closer to the manga, sure, but I'd argue it's better to have a director with an original vision for the series than one who operates by-the-panel. Plus the so called filler in 99 is actually fucking good and adds quite a bit; I felt like there was a lot more time-wasting material in 11.
Basically 11 is good, really good and you're not at all wrong for liking it, but it does lack what made 99 so special for its fans.
In 99 the only good arcs were Hunter Exam and Yorkshin. Tower of Heaven was full of censorship and Greed Island had awful animation.
>>141766358
Does the truth hurt? They do do this, and after they get confused over something and you tell them to go read the whole manga because 2011 didn't either skipped over it, or it didn't divulge the information in a way that made it understandable they'll get mad and blame the manga.
>>141768477
I wasn't denying it.
I like 2011. I don't care if others don't.
>>141756803
The hate is extremely exaggerated on /a/ because 99fags are jealous and insecure that it's more popular than their very favorite adaptation, and mangafags want to act like any criticism leveled at HxH is because 2011 just adapted it poorly or that anyone who disagrees with them only does so because they're an animefag.
>>141768477
The only way to get 11turds to finally kill themselves is for Togashi to fill entire chapters with exposition instead of a couple of pages.

Other than generally toning down the violence and murders Hisoka does to the audience in Heaven's arena, are their more changes I don't know about
>>141756803
Because they watched the 99 version and noticed how horrible the remake actually was. I'm marathoning the older version right now and the difference in quality is astounding. Especially art direction and the soundtracks.

The music is great, well placed, and the narration is great when you actually hear it and the music just compliments it. The only issue I have with it is how overused that track can be
>>141756803
I like 99 better but i don't hate 2011. Each had some good and some bad just as FMA.

>>141771976
how did I prove his point?
The 99 animation is way better from an aesthetic point of view, but the current anime industry doesn't care about quality.
Is there any current show that doesn't looks like PowerPoint?
Story-wise, I prefer 11.
>>141772094
But HxH is fujo bait, how did they screwed that?
>>141772417
Do you just only watch bad anime or what?
>>141772475

It's not something like 'ayy you don't know good anime like I do lel'.

He left no nasty mess like the 1999 one

Who gives a shit?
>>141772417
Nips have the same complaints as 4chan, oddly enough. To them 2011 is a largely uninspired adaptation to the point that you could call it a cash grab. It attempts to copy the manga yet still fails to get the point.
>>141756803
Inferior visuals
Inferior soundtrack
Inferior direction
Rushed pacing
Censored as hell
Spawned an awful fanbase in the West
>>141767858
Greed Island is not from 99 anime
>>141767858
>Tower of Heaven was full of censorship
And 2011 was even worse in that regard. Your point?
>>141774758
Also increased the Madhousewank.
>>141774758
less censored than '99, though.
>>141775220
It didn't take out an entire fight. Besides the Gon vs Hisoka fight wasn't done justice in 99.
>>141774870
The OVAs are part of the same continuity.
I've watched 2011 and read the manga, and I love both.
It sounds like 99 is worth checking out. Am I right? Basically, I just want more HxH because it's probably my favorite battle shounen ever.
They have their strengths, 99 probably more than 11, but honestly they both suck in different ways. If only the manga was colored.
>>141775502
Yeah. Don't bother with 99' Greed Island though. Actually i'm not even sure if it truly is part of the 99 version, it's so different.
>>141775611
Comparing the manga and anime is pointless, comics and cartoons are two entirely different medias. Reading the source material of every series should be mandatory really anyway.
>>141775611
>If only the manga was colored.
There is a colored edition, but it hasn't been translated yet, and probably never will be either
http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/146494/
>>141775643
I'm still bummed that 11 fucked up Greed Island's pacing. It's my favorite arc and they got the atmosphere and design right, only to plow through it to get to CA.
>>141756803
Its definetly overall better than the 1999, but 2011 sometimes is too rushed in pacing (1999 was WAY too slow pacing)
The soundtracks are generic and often poorly used (However the 1999 has terrible sound effects and mixing)
When 1999 is animated well, it looks better than 2011, but the average episode looks worse generally with a blander color pallete, and often less creative shots.
>>141775942
It's a very shitty coloring to be honest.
>>141775949
At least they nailed the dodgeball game
>>141776009
99 has a better color palette and more creative shots than 11 mate.
Would kurapika be able to use all his chains on hisoka?
>>141776187
I doubt it, because the properties of rubber and gum would stick to the chains and then repel them.
>>141775369

>>141776009
>blander color pallete, and often less creative shots
the comparison between 11 and 99 is basically like what tv are doing with bvs and cw
>>141776704
The palette IS blander. Being dark and gritty or having more shadowing isn't related to the palette.
Can't we just agree that they were both good? Some parts of 99 were better than 11 and some parts of 11 were better than 99
>>141776009
>blander color pallete, and often less creative shots
>>141776816
Nah, dude. We gotta fanboy like the manchildren we are.

Are you retarded and blind? 99 has a more colorful palette while being dark and 2011 has a washed out palette while being bright.

The average episode still had a better color palette and direction than 11 you retard.
>>141780695
Actually the second example wasn't really a major episode.
>>141756803
2011 is well received because it adapted the Chimera Ant arc. 90% of the praise goes to the story alone.

Left is how he looked in the fucking manga.

It's a mixture of nostalgia + hype backlash from the 2011.
>>141781554
ofc 2011, was the closest adaptation to the manga.
but 99 original direction was better.
>>141781554

>>141781554
His face was never that exaggerated, it looks like a caricature of his hunter exam design.
>>141781424
>this nostalgia meme
You'll find that most people who claim that '99 is superior today are those who just watched it for the first time and have no nostalgia for it. To people who watch both adaptationsides they can see the effort in one adaptation and the lack of it in the other.
Most mangafags don't want people to watch 2011 because it'll confuse people who attempt into the manga and enter discussions.
Nips don't like it because they consider it to be a cheap cash-in made with little effort, that pales in comparison to the original work.
>>141781709
His face looks exactly like the 2011 version. Go check chapters 35 - 38
>>141781875
99 would confuse people far more than 2011. Stop with your bullshit.
The only thing 2011 did worse than 99 was the Kite reveal not being early on.
>>141781978
Like I said, he looks like a caricature in the anime.
>>141782110
Why didn't they use his peak Illumi?
>>141782110
Except he looks exactly the same in other shots as in the anime.
But whatever. 2011 is more true to his design
>>141782110
God damn, Illumi's design in the first arc wasn't that good but 2011 used it AND made it worse. Bravo.
i need a bluray remaster of 99 :(.
dvd too old-
>>141782238
The point is his earlier design wasn't that good. Madhouse tried to imitate his earlier design and made it even worse. This is why I'm not in favor of copy pasted adaptations. Look at the pic here>>141770743
Be honest and tell me which one looks better?
>>141782460
madhouse was known for using dat shading, somehow hunter x hunter was cheap as fuck, dissapointed.
This is the 1999>>>2011 thread right?
>>141782460
We can cherry pick all day
>>141782022
You'd think that and yet hilariously enough that didn't happen. Most '99fags were perfectly capable of jumping right into the manga immediately after the '99 adaptation ended, without getting the least bit confused.
Though that may just be because '99fags were capable of acknowledging that '99 wasn't a replacement for the manga, they were willing to read the manga and accept that there were differences between the two. And even among those who weren't willing to read the manga they still understood it a hell of a lot better than 2011fags do today.
Though remembering the common complaint about 2011 at the time it first aired it's not so surprising in hindsight.
>>141782548
99 looks better
>>141782617
99fags would say their shit looks better than the actual manga
>>141782548
What are you even trying to say retard? My point, If you didn't understand, was that the 1999 version did the design better than 2011 so why are you even bringing up the manga here?
>>141782661
It does look better though you blind idiot, I'm a mangafag and even I admit Illumi didn't look good in the Exam arc.
>>141782674
I'm trying to say 99 did NOT do it better.

>>141783019
2011 didn't either you retard.

2011 is hilariously bad, no emotion, no anything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgswrxtbfYs
>>141783071
Except it did far closer than 99.
>>141783075
The death is fine when you add the scene with Phinks and Gon/Killua.
>>141783019
All '99 really did was choose one of Togashi's and then rolled with it.
If anything 2011 overall changed designs more than '99 did. Especially for the main characters.
>>141783155
Maybe if you're blind.
>>141783155
It's really not especially for Killua and Kurapika.
>>141783075
99 didn't do justice to her nose and added a bunch of scenes that didn't exist in the manga.
>>141783212
The characters never drastically changed in 2011 though?
>>141783075
I think 99 is better too but I wouldn't say there is absolutely no emotion or effort in the 11 version.
>>141783260
Don't forget Gon. He literally looks like a puny starving orphan in 2011.
>>141783324
>99 took liberties
No shit. That's one of the reasons 99 isn't simply a copy paste from the manga and instead it's its own thing. 99 is good because it was incredibly well directed, not because it was accurate.
>>141783382
Early on and then he bulks up.
>>141783356
They did Killua looks like a moe shota fan artist drew him.
Gon looks like a stick figure with an overly large head.
Kurapika looks like a zombie.
>>141783437
This is retarded.
Who doesn't want accurate adaptations? What is this bizzaro world?
>>141783444
And yet you talk about inaccuracy in design.
>>141783474
There's a difference between an accurate and a lazy adaptation, 2011 is lazy.

>>141783763
Of course.
>>141783474
2011 isn't accurate either.
Skipped part of the cooking exam
Doesn't show nor mention Maha during York Shin
Stupid filler in which Killua shows his techniques when he tries to hide them in the manga
Stupid filler lines about Gon not knowing about Rock-Paper-Scissors
Didn't even mention Gyro's fate
Completely removing any instances of Leorio showing off, except for the punch
Removing large chunks of Greed Island
Removing the Meteor City suicide bombings
etc etc
If it's not accurate then what does it have?

Seems like the 2011 is the perfect adaptation then

>>141783662
They even changed Netero's dialogue in pic related to "Humanities infinite potential for evolution" instead of "Malice". The usage of malice in the original line of the manga is supposed to show that humanity can just as easily show the level of evil the ants had shown in the arc, if not even more so. It paints a dark image of humanity, and then immediately 'Rose' comes up, showing one of humanities most evil creations.
That change even if it looks small made me upset.
>>141783790
Also put a lot more emphasis on Gon finding Ging, where Gon was actually prone to forgetting him in the manga.

Here's an example.

>>141783966
>>141783929
2011 also made Kurapika angrier
And had Gon forget about going to Kukuro mountain.
>>141784061
And there are moments Killua gets mad at Gon but '11 changes it to him not really reacting or just outright blushing.
>>141783990
Not to forget Gon's reasoning for sticking around Kite.
>>141784089
Oh and let's forget Leorio.
>>141783929
They didn't change it. The original text said evolution with an alternative reading that said malice on top of it, suggesting that our potential to evolve and our ability to destroy are one and the same. I don't like the 11 adaptation but that was something that's impossible to transfer into an anime.
>>141783929
Do you actually know that the dialogue was changed and this wasn't a translation mistake?
>>141756803
It may not be as good in the beginning but the fact that it includes the chimera ant arc and the '99 version doesn't proves that it is the definitive version
![[Coalgirls]_Hunter_X_Hunter_116_(1280x720_Blu-ray_FLAC)_[E998B6AA].mkv_snapshot_21.23_[2016.05.20_17.01.38].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/7XY4vQi.jpg "[Coalgirls]_Hunter_X_Hunter_116_(1280x720_Blu-ray_FLAC)_[E998B6AA].mkv_snapshot_21.23_[2016.05.20_17.01.38].jpg")
>>141783926
He does bulk up though. Makes sense considering the training his did with Bisky.
>>141784185
Malice was the translation that was meant.
>>141784197
>99 is inferior because it doesn't have an arc that was written after it ended
>>141784089
And in 2011 Gon is really excitable and enthusiastic for some reason, Gon could have a neutral face in a scene but the anime gives him a big ol' smile and excited tone.
>>141784061
1999 completely changed character personalities and did their own thing with them.
>>141782549
This is completely retarded. There was nothing in 2011 that was changed so drastically that it would make people "confused." As always, you just want to call anyone who disagrees with you a misguided 2011fag.
>>141784173
Actually it was the other way around, with the furigana reading "shinka", meaning evolution. The anime chose to voice the alternative meaning.
>>141784239
>like 2011 didn't do the same thing.
>>141784244
There were tons of people asking why Gon cared so much about Kite or who Gyro is after the anime aired.
>>141784268
>>141784286
The anime did show Gyro's backstory, though. It just didn't show him in town.
>>141784320
He definitely looks skinnier in the anime, look at his elbow.
>>141756803
The manga is less mainstream than the anime so the anime tends to bring in the worst people. Its a defense mechanism
Not saying that the anime is better than the manga, but to say the anime-adaptation was shit is ridiculous
>>141784272
It definitely didn't to the same extent.
>>141784272
2011 followed the manga/Togashi far better
>>141784004
>>Retarded filler of Kite ignoring the centaur ant and watching Gon's fight right after he says not to take his eye off the enemy
In the manga the fucking dude dies off screen. Kite was never in any danger only Gon and Killua.
>>141784399
In the west maybe, the manga is far more popular than the anime in Japan. I'm pretty sure 2011 flopped, actually.
>>141784286
>who Gyro is after the anime aired.
But the anime fucking explained this.
The anime also shows why Gon and Killua care so much for eachother perfectly fine.
Why do you make shit up, anon?
Why the fuck do people care so much i've seen these cancerous threads almost every day just watch what you want to watch and if you want to know what has been left out just go to fucking google for your answer
99 did Hunter Exam and York Shin better.
11 did Heavens Arena and Greed Island better.
99's director is better with darker material.
11's with more traditional fighting shounen arcs.
99 was a more creative adaptation.
11 was more faithful to the source material.
That about sums it up.
99 has too much worthless oc shit
>>141784469
>flopped
Not arguing that the manga isn't more popular, but long running shounen anime are never intended to move BDs.
>>141784469
It's not mainstream in the west unless one thinks being popular on MAL = mainstream. The anime didn't even come out in the west until recently.
>>141784537
What even was that nonsense
>>141784244
And yet it's what happened. Whether or not you believe it's retarded doesn't change the fact that that is what happened. 2011fags have a much harder time jumping into the the manga and following discussions than '99fags ever did. There are a ton of people who were confused about Gon caring about Kite, people who actively believe that Gon's journey was solely about finding Ging, the nature of Nen, everything about Killua, wtc.
2011's changes aren't in big scenes but rather in the details, which ultimately add up into a different picture. And as everyone knows the devil is in the details Which again feeds right into the biggest criticism lobbed at 2011 when it first began airing, it literally copies manga panels yet still somehow misses the point.
>>141784513
They didn't say Gon would eventually meet Gyro is what i'm trying to say, maybe i didn't express it correctly.
Also i said Kite, not Killua.
>>141784436
Considering the discussions that went on last year it really did.
Which one?

2011 did flop in Japan.
>>141784605
>MAL
MAL = West?
>>141784722
Of course they didn't. Hunter x Hunter wasn't getting chapters for TWO years during the time the anime aired.
Why hype people up for something they would never see.
We knew the main points however. Which was all that was needed at that point.
>>141784766
You clearly haven't watched the 99 anime recently if you honestly believe that.
>>141784877
That's completely irrelevant to what you were arguing though.
It's overrated in other places and /a/ is contrarian.
99fags and 11fags are both faggots, you can like both.manga best
>>141784933
But its not? The 2011 series said who Gyro was entirely.
We knew he was the true king of ngl
We knew he broke free of the queen and left
We knew he was still alive
Only thing we didn't have is the scene saying Gon will meet him some time in the future assuming that ever happens.
>>141784986
>99fags and 11fags are both faggots, you can like both.
>manga best
this
and this >>141783820
So when a a studio look in another way while doing an adaptation we can spam :
>muh original
To make other people shut up
Why did 2011 fuck with Leorio so much? Now the anime watchers think that he's a weak ass faggot when he's actually the strongest main character physically.
>>141785217
Second strongest.
Actually I wonder where he ranks in physical strength now
Gon isn't even done right in the 1999 version
1999
>Gon asked Tonpa to carry Leorio when he was exhausted
>Gon being a rape victim when Hisoka punched him and gave him back his badge
>Leorio take's Ponzo badge instead of Gon stealing
2011/Manga
>Gon watched Leorio in silence because he knew he could make it through on his own
>Gon was upset in silence due to his bruised ego
>Gon stole the badge from ponzu when she was passed out
This is just small examples.
The 1999 anime made Gon less selfish and more typical no lie no cheat shonen hero.
The only thing 1999 did far better was how it handled Kite.
>>141785217
Killua is stronger than him and still unless something is shown otherwise.
>>141785217
>Leorio hasn't done much in this arc so far
I'm upset.
>>141785505
It hasn't even been 15 chapters yet anon.
>>141785290
I don't think Leorio even has a master who trains him. He's only been studying medicine and practicing the basics of Nen since we last saw him in York Shin.
He's right next to Enhancer in affinity so if he trains he'll probably end up just below Gon in strength.
1999 LOOKS LIKE SHIT. LIKE ITS HARD TO TELL WHAT'S OGING ON IN THE SCENES. SHIT SHIT SHIT REE
>>141786100
Forgot to take your meds, huh?
>>141781664
yes it does
>>141785505
I want to see Leorio fight, at the very least we know he has high physical strength and is fairly competent and able to defend himself.Also he punched Ging, bet your favorite character didn't do that.
>>141784219
Says who?
